greetings and salutations i don't know what you did over the weekend hawk watchers but for those of us here in the united states of america friday october seventh. the gala event of the season as the u.s. and afghanistan celebrated their sixtieth anniversary of war death and wasted tax dollars yes for sixteen long years now the united states has been dropping soldier exam bombs on that quaint little desert mountain community to the tune of anywhere

from eight hundred billion to two trillion tax dollars depending on which set of experts or washington think takes us now now i know many of you are out there wondering just what do you get the longest running war in u.s. history on its sixteenth anniversary i mean we've already pretty much gone through paper bruns and mcchrystal yet as an insider joke well thankfully the pentagon has your answer as they gifted afghanistan over the weekend in some very first pair of blackhawk helicopters that's truly the gift that keeps on giving blackhawk helicopters oia. afghanistan president except of the anniversary gift over the weekend at a ceremony in kandahar which was attended by high ranking officials including general john nicholson the top u.s. commander in afghanistan. tragically it's true pit-bull could not perform at the sixteenth anniversary festivities because he was already booked at a mother's sweet sixteen in dubai. upon receiving the two attack helicopters

president got he stated if the taliban think that they have defeated the afghan security forces they should take out these raw thoughts from their heads and ladies and gentlemen the world had better take out the raw thoughts of peace from our heads because we know this is. the war never end and i'm not going out today it's too sad hurts me to watch a war that never ends anyway so let's kick off the of ghana stand ward sweet sixteen and start watching the whole. thing. with the. real thing. as you leave the bottom if you. like you know that i got. this.

week so. welcome everybody to watch the hawks i am tyrol but for them to have a while is so terrible that yes afghanistan is old enough to drive now you have got to stand war has now early to have an all out there are only drive a helicopter pilot flies i would have to guess it is a six yes sixteen you get a hell of a get it you get two helicopters too you know rain chaos down. the populace and i love that and you know i want to show you a quick chart take take a look at this stuff this is the length of the of galveston where it was now the longest running us war in history longer than the bro rebellion fourteen years northwest ward ten years iraq eight point eight us coming up fast in the real american revolution eight years later vietnam a second some little i civil war a little more to nothing compares to america for the us of the afghanistan war and

not just boggles your my and i think this keeps going on and on and on and at what point. doesn't that seem strange to anyone in the department of defense that that you have a war that's been going on for sixteen years now because it's just that's just dollar signs mantra change change change nothing to actually cares about it's not our money but they don't care about our body you know that and then there are lives where. and this is the thing there is so much money that could be saving people being wasted and lives being wasted there is a brown university does a cost of war has a cost of war project and as of two thousand and sixteen their new study found that the combined humility of death toll of war in afghanistan and pakistan since two thousand and one is one hundred seventy three thousand with one hundred eighty one hundred eighty three hundred thousand one hundred eighty eight thousand others were seriously injured so you take that you look at when the contact conflict began the

united states a very spent it's spent eight hundred billion in appropriations alone they've gone and gotten that much out of. katie. and now figuring in associated funding veterans care that number easily exceeds a trillion for the cost of this is were and one of the editor of a long war journal bill rocio wrote back in april that the taliban today holds more ground in the country than sense since since they were ousted by the united states into early two thousand and two than they did before so we made them stronger we made other terrorist organizations i'm sorry rebel fighters whatever that. was whatever we call it this week though we're putting money into that we're bringing death destruction i mean. and we're more wanting more of them or trump is going to win again a steady drop that big huge row we were last year. i mean it's absolutely nuts and

i don't we haven't accomplished much would kill a lot of people and spend a lot of money but i guess that's the idea right right. interview with p.b.s. and new or old buddy betray us. cia former cia director david petraeus and also oversaw u.s. forces in afghanistan admitted that this is a. job and spending sixteen here for afghanistan is not going to end anytime soon. this is a generational struggle generational that this is not something that is going to be won in a few years we're going to take a bill plante up way and go home to a victory parade a generational war. which it is now sixteen years and says that's the beginning of the next generation there are people now born who are sixteen years old this year in the u.s. and in order to drive about to become adults who know nothing but the us being at war with them get us to let that one sink in for

a minute but once again there are people born today who have not known to us and not at war in afghanistan wow or just generally being at war and that we're all they're going to lose you know and the whole fight is delusional you talk to people are active duty active doing duty i want to talk about this a u.s. marine captain joshua with dell wrote this bad for the marine corps because that last spring and he laid out all the problems he saw with the defense department and the marine corps and what's going on there what he said was quote let us first begin with the fundamental underpinnings of this delusion are measures of performance and effectiveness in recent years it is time that we as professional military officers accept the fact that we lost the wars in iraq and afghanistan. you you're not going to have people going into that meat grinder when they see. start to really see this this is the thing you saw in vietnam in eight years.

they're not going to have the numbers less than one percent of the u.s. population signed up to be in the military what happens when those numbers are so low the only way they're going to be able to get people is for some and that is the day middle america will say you're not taking my sons and daughters. on the member fifteen twenty sixteen two months before the new administration even walked in the door of the department of housing and urban development office of inspector general issued a report that found pervis of material errors in the financial statements of hud including a leaven material weaknesses seven significant deficiencies and five instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations the report went on to state that during the twenty six audit acting general counsel refused to sign off on certain matters including in the management representation letter concerning all known actual or possible litigation claims and assessments related to hide including its

component entities include clues in the report indicated that hud was responsible for improper budgetary accounting disclaimers of opinion financial statements invalidated grant a cruel estimates estimates improper and unreliable accounting for assets and liabilities and significant on reconciled sub ledger to general ledger differences the report concludes that the office of housing and urban development was a complete financial mess well before the new administration took over but it doesn't seem that the new head of neurosurgeon but carson thinks five hundred billion in a crude accounting errors over two years is a big deal but then why would he when another newer report by dr mark skidmore a professor of economics at michigan state university and catherine austin say its former assistant secretary of housing shows the between the department of defense and the department of housing and urban to develop. nearly twenty one trillion dollars has been lost missing or unaccounted for from nine hundred ninety eight to

two thousand and fifteen and while much of that twenty one trillion dollars has an actual cash but fraudulent unreported accounting it's still enough to wipe out the entire u.s. national debt and still have enough to get everyone a pizza that would be nice i would love it if the government bought us all a slice of pizza for the. wasted over the years just just from you reach into your pocket and take him from you and this is one of the this see this is totally bizarre it goes down bad accounting if you how what i want to know is what were the democrats doing and what was obama doing for each year when his housing and urban development department was in a shambles shambles well i mean look at look at look at the way the v.a. is but in shambles almost every government agency across the board is but in general look at the pentagon to now look pentagon misplaces a couple trillion dollars i understand that they'll say you know accounting there's other but really they're put in the white black op operations stuff they can't tell congress about on descript lack bags and whether it's you know that kind of stuff

yeah i mean you that doesn't make it right but you can say like i know why the pentagon claims to have misplaced money it's usually because it's going someplace to paris ok or someplace the other thing is or any element i don't think they're paying you know bags of cash not warlords that hard that just means incompetence and probably i'm sure if you dig deep enough those people with getting much or other scrap there have to be there is no way on the local and the federal level that these housing authority is the way they've been being run over the last eight to ten years that you're going to tell me that money wasn't going into the pockets and here's the thing is that when you think about housing and urban development those that need help from their programs are the u.s. is most vulnerable yet in this country they're two thirds of their incomes average less than thirty percent of the median income for the area they live right that doesn't mean the poor. i'm poor right so you're saying that two thirds of the people in the house and housing that would be under that housing assistance make of

forty percent of the average for the average person and you're telling me what little money there is a match apartment can't be found and isn't going to help people but me let abatement alone should. begin to you know but here's my question is you know you mentioned our buddy ben carson the neurosurgeon who knows everything about raising a marriage either way i know he's a minute he doesn't know any one know that's what is his plan mr goble think about housing and urban development well i think this is weird because this seems like the perfect opportunity to sort of get back at the obama administration for what are clearly incredibly macsyma series of mistakes or malfeasance either somebody wasn't paying attention to what was going on and had or somebody was you know cooking the books for whatever reason. but i think it's weird that the he wouldn't even give an opinion like that was the thing the report said hardock was so bad

that they couldn't even give an opinion on. the financial health of the entire darkman so the white house's plan and ben kirsten's plan is to cut hard funding anywhere from six billion to forty billion by putting pressure on the states themselves to fund the plan and oversee public housing for their poorest senate so so you know what this means that giving the housing authority in east st louis recently back. to the locals wasn't about states' rights it was no it was it wasn't about make putting things in the locals hands it was about saving the feds a few bucks funs they're definitely going to lose in the well i'm so sorry about shifting the blame too because that if you put everything back away from the terrible program the last all this money with grafted all that new put it back into the state's hands again tell em no one has to touch the problem no one has to get dirty from the problem and it's a local and i meant how do i have to go and take it over i got what's happened with thirty years i'll turn around to get just a cyclical basically all right as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let

us know what you think of the topics we've covered at facebook and twitter so your poll shows that are. coming up massachusetts congressional kind of brianna who joined the walls in the hawks nest to discuss moving the democratic party beyond hillary clinton and chuck schumer and into the future state to watch the. mark twain said it's easier to do old people than to complain to them they've been fooled that could be why america is so divided because people have been fed fake news feed for by corporate interests they beat you down until you believe they're very. well here's a story for you it's called big and that's false. all

the world this day and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties aren t. america playing r.t. america offers more. in many ways the news landscape is just like the theater and in the end you could never how when you're on. the left part of the play all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world and we are definitely a player led. all the feel we don't know. every the world should be experienced. and you can get it on the old the old. the old according to just.

welcome to my rule come along for the. with the defeat of one hillary clinton nearly a year behind us in the rearview mirror the same problems are plaguing the democratic party in two thousand and sixteen continue to fester and enter the party's future prospects with the left still encouraged to fund foreign wars and buy copies of what happened there is unfortunately been little room for lively debate and policy innovation here to change that is brianna wu a software engineer ninety expert who is now running for congress in the democratic primary against incumbent stephen lynch of massachusetts who though a clinton supporter in two thousand and sixteen takes a bold approach to reclaiming her party and making it one of true progress and the peeling idealism she joined at the recently discussed her efforts and the ideas

underpinning her ambitious campaign. hi brianna thank you so much for joining us today now i want to talk to you first about the democratic party because the democratic party of today is not the one we grew up with it's i don't know if you can call it liberal or progressive at all anymore after decades of interventionist war is growing deficits for those wars and this sort of continued lack of unity just within the party and its followers you call in your campaign for a bolder democratic party for bold leadership in massachusetts what does that look like to you. well i think at the core it just means putting the american people first i think you nailed it like this is a democratic party who's been complicit in you know completely unfounded wars this is a democratic party that you know has put health insurance companies whose put you know

wall street in all kinds of special interests first to the point where i don't feel like we really have a progressive party in this country i think the american people spoken very clearly when it comes to this week you know centrist democratic party that's almost republican lite they're just not interested in voting for it so i think it's time we started taking care of the american people and what is i look like because i think the hard part for a lot of people in the rust belt when i speak to them about getting back on board with the democratic party after things like nafta and then after also trusting republicans over and over and over again to fix what ninety's democrats said what is it about that identity crisis that the democratic party is having and is it really just about the election or is this just been building and building and building and they ignored it. i think it's more about vision than anything else you know for all the republican faults they present

a vision to voters in their follow through on it's an absolutely terrible vision and the. you know they reward their voters for us in the democratic party it's hard to get people excited about tax credits for job retraining. the devastation of jobs it's you know the problem with democrats is we have so many elites in our party that are leading it that we don't really speak to like ordinary americans what i see when i'm out there running for congress i see people that just want you to talk to them straight and they just want to feel like you have their back and i think that's something the democratic party is utterly failed to do do you think that there is because we hear we've been hearing since the election and since the inauguration that they're they're putting their platform together they're putting up a platform together. i mean at this point a lot of people say i'm sick of waiting for the democrats to get their things

together or i'm just going to let let's go for a third party let's go for independents what do you say to people who are pushing that independent or third party which obviously has a long way to go before it has strength what what good is trying to say of the democratic party as a progressive as someone who sees the future how how do we do that or the process well you know i am i my approach to problem solving is i'm an engineer right so i look at outcomes i don't look at intent so anything that will get our party back on message back taking care of the american people i am for i personally think it is better to primary weak democrats i personally think it's better to move this party to the left but i think like if you have people out there that are you know running as third party truly progressive candidates i think that's a good thing because i think it puts the democratic elites on notice that if they

know get to work life they will be replaced so you know i think how we get there i'm very flexible but i think the truth is you know i am somebody that has spent a lot more time in democratic elite circles today than i had a year ago and with respect to people that work hard for a party i see people that are just so comfortable that they're really removed from what ordinary americans are feeling they don't know what it's like to really struggle to pay the rent they don't know what it's like to be like one paycheck away from losing your house and i think that we need people to do understand you know having their voice heard in the party it's just so gross and i'm comfortable working with republican lite as we. there yeah i used to hate the term neo liberal i used to just get used to drive me up

a wall and now i i just accept it as kind of what it is you know right you know i pushed against it for a long time and finally said no they're right at it it's this new idea of liberal that isn't really liberal or progressive and one of the where is you see where you see this the most to me is an attack and one of the issues you bring up as you noted promoting more tech jobs in your state considering how much of the rust belt is hurting from the exodus of young people looking for those jobs elsewhere this is one area that that i keep seeing a lot of people keep saying is being able to invigorate exactly the areas hurt by previous democratic policies why you feel that tact is an area that's so important to the economies of states especially like massachusetts. you know i think of tech jobs as kind of what automotive manufacturing jobs were fifty years ago if you work in terms of like the odds are good that you're going to be able to buy

a house the odds are good they're going to be able to have a family. to me it's what i know because it's the field our work in know exactly the people i want to call to ask them to come to massachusetts but i would be you know i would not be truthful if i didn't tell you tucker is a place with a lot of problems. i myself have spoken about for years and years about the way treats women the way it treats people of color so we have a lot of work to do you know my dream for massachusetts is we're a state where we have pretty good protections for gay people we have pretty good protections for women. i want to make this a state where we can kind of match these blue collar jobs rebuilding infrastructure and prepare in boston for global warming with you know these kind of white collar tech jobs can make a deal. listen i think that's a pretty good strategy to just you know helping families be able to make a living wage messages this is a big education state they've invested

a lot into that education which on a side note is also what the chinese dead was spend a lot of money and time educating their populace to be ready for at the end of these jobs i'm from wisconsin and i'm seeing them lack that kind of forward thinking what how do we get people who look at you know mining jobs and factory jobs as the good solid jobs and shift that that view toward sort something intact and can we move some of those blue collar people into the tack or. oh i think so like the district i'm running in district we have a lot of union workers so we have a hyper skilled workforce you know building the kind of like for instance sea walls we need in boston it is a fact the boston will be underwater in fifty years if we don't start preparing for it so i do think that's a place to go but you're right the education is it's

a good bet it's a good way forward where mail so chooses failed is we put all of this money forward for education and you have people of mit starting a new company it's but then we have this brain drain out and they take that investment that our state has made and they take it to silicon valley or new york or other took up a senate seat in austin so what i want to see if this is what i want to see is to is yes we need to avoid these neo liberal policies that are you know just republican alike we don't need to treat like you know we don't need to treat like the so-called free market as a religion but we do need to get in the business of providing people like a living wage and i think people that have a track record of keeping tucker accountable you know can have a lot of credibility and bring those jobs here in. true workers right. today marks a number of hysterical historical moments in history and celebrates the actions of

some very famous men first the greatly admired and disparaged anti-imperialist revolutionary was assassinated fifty years ago by bolivian soldiers trained equipped and guided by u.s. green berets and cia operatives just look at it it's a leap erikson day now leif erikson was an icelandic explorer who is believed to be by many to be the first european to step foot in north america in areas near his newfoundland and maine but most notably the day is normally used to celebrate christopher columbus a man every child in the united states is raised believing discovered america except he didn't he never even made it to the united states of america what he did do was land in the caribbean and proceed to enslave murder and mutilate the native peoples all for gold so today let us celebrate the indigenous peoples of north america the ones that have been through a horrifying millennia of war oppression and disease we give respect to those who

survived and carry on the heritage of their ancestors and we whose ancestors took part in the most painful period of this country's history celebrate your courage and the work done to open our eyes to the reality of your history happy indigenous peoples day to every native person around the world we stand with you that we most definitely do all right everybody that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world told your love develops or tell you all i love you i am i roll them through and i tap a policy of watching those hawks and every great barrier and everybody. our culture is awash in law dominated by street. the never ending electronic hallucinations that. fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the

most elusive society on politics as a species of endless and needless political politicians. celebrities are to ruling parties are in reality one part of corporate and those who attempt. this. breathless universe of fake news to sign the push through the cool t.v. and exploitation of the little board for so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche. we must move. all the worlds. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties

are in america playing. off much more. personal. in many ways the news landscape is just like the real news big news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never hear on. so much parking lot all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player. on larry king you're watching our. first more. modern. called the future we go through. every the world tribute period we
